I need my result quickly!

[David.IELTS.Examiner]

Hi everyone!

Recently, several people have posted that their results have been delayed and this is affecting their applications to unis, etc. There are numerous reasons for this and listing them is not the purpose of this message.

Do not take IELTS at the last minute! When I worked in China, it was shocking how many people took IELTS just before they needed their results, not giving them time to retake if necessary, or to take a course to become familiar with the test and its requirements.

I'll be a little naughty here and point out that if you are leaving such important matters to the very last minute, you might run into serious problems as a uni student and as an employee in the future.

All the best,
David
